Re: hybrid holsters: crossbreed vs. the rest?

One thing I don't like about the Aliengear holsters is the clips compared to my MTAC. The metal clips can be a PITA to get clipped on to the belt. I'm guessing from their stiffness. I don't have those problems with my MTAC. Slides over easy.

Re: hybrid holsters: crossbreed vs. the rest?

I've got a Comp-Tac MTac & an Aliengear. My Comp-Tac is in brown (1st gen) & I love that you can swap the kydex. The one thing about Comp-Tac that stands above all others is the body side doubling of leather, so you have buttery smooth polished leather against your body. See pic to see what I'm talking about:

I think that alone aides in comfort. Almost all other holsters have the roughed up side against your body. Ask yourself this: when you sit on a saddle, what kind of leather are you being exposed to? Polished or rough?

As for my AlienGear, I'm pleased with it. It's comfortable, even with the rough leather on the body side. I also like that you can swap out the kydex shells.

FYI: Swapping kydex shells is something the CBST can NOT do . . . (unless they've updated recently).

Beyond what leather sits on the body, I think an undershirt has made the biggest difference in comfort for me.
